Lo and behold, Twitter was quick to respond, but not in the way McCain had hoped. At the time of publication of this article, McCain has now dropped to 2,978,646 followers for a net loss of 21,280 followers. In the time it took us to write this article (less than an hour), he lost 669 followers. So the humiliation continues.

“People are unfollowing Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Twitter to make their distaste for the recently passed tax reform bill known. The bill was passed on Saturday and has multiple pitfalls, as identified by The New York Times. These include a tax cut for the rich, more taxes for graduate students, raised taxes for millions of middle-class families, and permission for oil and gas drilling in an Alaskan wildlife refuge, among many other nightmare scenarios disguised as economic stimulus measures.”

Democratic Coalition Chair Jon Cooper tweeted: “So, after helping pass the horrible #GOPTaxScam bill and voting to take away healthcare from millions of Americans, @SenJohnMcCain’s top priority now is to reach 3M Twitter followers. If you’re following this selfish hypocrite, today would be a great day to #UnfollowMcCain!”
